# Orange Braised Pork Chops

My grandmother would often make these when we came to visit. She shared this recipe with me when I got married so that my husband and I could learn to make it together.

# Ingredients

  • 6 loin pork chops, 1 inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon of orange zest
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup orange sections

# Tools

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Mixing spoon
  • Measuring cup
  • Measuring spoons

# Method

  1. Mix flour and salt together in a small bowl.
  2. Wipe pork chops with a damp paper towel and then coat with flour and salt mixture.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet and then brown each side. 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Combine remaining ingredients expect the orange sections.
  5. Reduce heat and pour mixture over pork chops. Simmer 45 minutes until tender.

# Tips

Keep an eye on pork as it cooks, thinner pork chops will cook faster. My grandma always used bone-in pork chops.
